" I don't think Supergirl is stronger than Superman, but I could be wrong. "

An argument could be made for it, but frankly, feats and other evidence support him. The big difference is that she doesn't hold herself back in the manner that Clark does, giving the appearance that she has more strength than him.

Solar Batteries are vastly different from the real deal. On top of that, it's a 16 year borderline anorexic girl vs an insanely buff 35 year old male. No matter what drugs Loeb does to try and say otherwise, Supes is tougher.

It is said in a Superman/Batman issue that she could be stronger then Clark, Clark later explains that the only reason she is stronger, faster... blah blah is because he has learnt to hold back to control his powers, If he needed to he could do what she did, but living on earth has taught him to be more then just strength. Supergirl has never had the need to hold back to have the level of control that Kal has needed to use so she always goes in using everything she can. I think it was something like that.

Yeah, that was. "

Im sure it happened in Batman/Superman as well just can't recall the issue.

I have both issues you are referring to. The first happened in Superman/Batman 12 when they were fighting in the fire pits of Apokolips and the second happened in Supergirl 5.

Knew it was in there somewhere, I wanted to say ten so I was just off XD

I wasn't sure at first because although I have the issues, the numbering here was different but I check the covers in the wiki.

" It's like asking who wins in a fight. An adult male body builder or a teenage girl. I think the answer is fairly obvious! Because that's frankly what any fight between Superman and Supergirl is, basically ;) "

I agree with what other people are saying that Kara is more ruthless and less willing to hold back than Clark and that the fight would be between a male body builder and a teenage girl. However, there is other evidence to support this. Wonder Woman was shown as being able to overpower Supergirl and has been acknowledged as the strongest superheroine in the DC Universe. However, Superman is stated as being stronger than her and has won in multiple fights between the 2 so this is further evidence that Superman is stronger than Supergirl

Damn straight! "

Haha, thank you, glad you agree :) "

Of course I agree. There's nothing not to agree with. Your post says it all. Cheers.

i havent read the comics but watching the show i was always curious which of the two were stronger or if they were pretty much equal. superman always held back except for the one time he fought darkside and showed power that was never seen before from him or supergirl for that matter and i never really thought she ever held back so idk. id love to know the answer but other than that one time i always figured they were about the same

@fadetoblackbolt: supermans physical appearance is irrelevant as thats not an important factor in Kyrptonian physiology every Kyrptonian is in perfect physical condition. the difference is that its been said in various comics that kara was scientifically augmented above other Kyrptonians also when Clark came to earth he wasn't super strong or super powerful his abilities developed over years as such when he was younger he actually worked on a farm and developed a human like physical appearance if you notice none of the other Kyrptonians have such a massive physical appearance and thats because non of them had to develop one they were already perfect on there home planet but he developed his body via hard work before his Kyrptonian strength kicked in

To the people saying Clark is stronger because he's a muscular man while Kara is a slender teenage girl, we have no reason to assume it works that way.

Kryptonians don't get their enhanced strength, toughness etc. from their physique, they get their superpowers from exposure to Earth's yellow sun. All it would take for Kara to be more powerful is for her to be able to store and utilise more solar energy to fuel her abilities. For all we know Kryptonian women could be better at that than the men - or it could just vary between individuals. Either way, Kara could easily be stronger than Superman, regardless of build.
